When I read this morning's paper I was about ready to. blowup. It should be no. concern of the city what,the School Board wants to do with the property, ' and certainly the old Junior High building should be, demolished. I can see that little was accomplished by last'night' s meeting,;,Vth.Mayor Ne'uhauser repeating the' same old things that have been said and resald. The one thing -that is true is that the City stands to lose a lotby not giving a clear title to the property: all of Iowa City will lose.As was stated, if the City doesn't give a clear title and the School Board wins the suit, the citywill have to clear the title. If the School Board loses the suit, you can well bet the Board will rightfully keep the property'in Its hands, and the Board should. Where does that leave the city? The community hasn't benefitted one bit through all of this.short- sightedness on behalf of the Council.

When the School Board asked for a clear title to the property, clear title should have been given to the Board without any argument. I was told by one council member the city wanted to use its position to make the property more marketable, but now the objectives apparently have been changed and the Council has thrown one obstacle after another against the school board.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of Iowa City, Iowa. For the information of your Eonorable Body, I am inclosing a COPY of a letter regarding the appraisal of the Central Junior Jigh School property that I am today sending to the Iowa City Community School Board for their next meeting. If you consider offering to buy a part of that property, or if you plan to ask developers to bid -on a certain project,, a complete appraisal is very essential. Copies of the two Zerox copies that I also inclosed with my letter to the School Board are also incloseii herewith. �aL E nD 1530 Sheridan Ave' e MAR9 198 , March 8, 1983. To Mrs. Lynn Cannon, President, and Members of the Iowa City Community School Board According to the news media, the appraisal of the Central Junior Bigh School property is incomplete because the Realtor who made the appraisal did not even mention a sanitary ee.:er, and that ie a very important part of any appraisal. If a sanitary sewer which serves the pro;-erty should be inadenuate during periods of wet weather flow, the value of the property could be much lower than if it was adecuate at all times. Your Board may have already asked the Realtor who made the appraisal to complete it. If you haven't, is there any good reason why you shouldn't If I have the correct information, sewage from Court Bill, Townereat East Iowa City, Rundell Addition, Oaks Addition, all goes to the sewage disposal plant by way of P.andell Street, Jefferson Street, Van Buren Strret. etc. Sewage from south of the Rock Island tracks also now goes to the dis;osal plant' by way of Rund811 and Jefivenon Streets instead of going the short way through the Pine Street Pumping Station aa it did prior to the time that one of the industrial plants starter running detergent foam into the sanitary sever. The pumps at the pumping station couldn't pump the faom. Sewage. from Morningside, Bel hire, and other points to the east and north, goes to the disposal plant fy nay of Jefferson Street too. I do not know whether the south east sewer system is now adeouate t) carry the sewage at all hour on the day during. dry weather flow, but it most certaitly is not adeouate during rain storms because of the large '"amount of storm water from roof drains and sump pumps Ihnt is being illegally dumped into the sanitary sewer.

It is my understanding that currently a single family hare may be used by four unrelated parties. I have seen this type of use clash with the single family concept throughout the City of Iowa City and I think that serious Consideration should be made in limiting the use of a single family home by four unrelated parties. I realize there may be legal considerations in this matter, but I believe the current situation is causing a deterioration in the quality of living in neighborhoods where suddenly the house next door becones a rental property with four unrelated individuals living in it. I would appreciate knowing if the new zoning ordinance will address this issue. Thank you. TJC:cb very truly y�ourss, �UM UA&A Thomas J.

No advance notice was given to the customers. It showed Lip an our bills, and we had less than seven days to decide what to do. I cancelled oneof the channels, and included a note saying I did so because I felt they were not being fair to their customers by not giving advance notice of a rate increase. I received no reply. Second, the business operation of Hawkeye Cable is a shambles. Last year when we moved, It tool; four months for them to straighten out the billing. Even thoughthey use a computor to make out bills, they credited my payment to the outdated address on my checks, and not to the address on the bill, or to the account number I wrote on the check. They told me that billing was still done by hand. Not very cost efficient. In August, our service was cut off on a Friday night. We were told a service man would be out the next day.

Hawkeye Cable has made no attempL to survey their veiwers to see if the current channels should be k:ept. They have not attempted to keep costs down by deleting poorly watched channels, or using good business techniques.

We received so many replies to our survey questionnaires that it was totally impossible to individually answer each and every one. We did, however, thank people for their participation via a billing message. The survey results were tabulated by our corporate headquarters and the results were only in general information terms of which the public would have little interest. Positive steps we have been implementing include our quarterly newsletter, video newsletter, community programming grants, acknowledgement cards for billing questions and correspondence, and billing messages that change monthly to help our subscribers keep informed. We have also implemented other form letters to be used in specific instances. Correspondence requiring specific answers are treated individually.

WASHINGTON ST April 8, 1983 OWA IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240 l Mr. Dean P. Loven 1958 Broadway, Apt. 7B Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Letter to City Council dated February 27, 1983 Bear Mr. Loven: CITY (319) 356-500D Thank you for your letter concerning cable service in Iowa City. Please let me address each of the points you raised. First, you commented that you felt it was unfair that Hawkeye CableVision had raised HBO rates without any notice to its customers. As you may know, the City of Iowa City, as grantor for the cable franchise, has been pre-empted from being able to regulate pay channel rates by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). However, the Cable Ordinance 78-2917 in Section 14-76(b) requires the cable company to make its charges public and to file two.copies of charges with the City Clerk's office. This was not done with the HBO increase. The Broadband Telecommunications Commission (BTC) therefore requested in its July 6, 1982, meeting that Hawkeye CableVision give the City 30 days advance notice of any rate changes. Hawkeye CableVision agreed to this request. This should prevent any future unanticipated rate hikes. You commented on having billing problems with Hawkeye CableVision, and on the fact that some of their accounting procedures are done by hand. The BTC has spent a great deal of time discussing this problem with Hawkeye CableVision. Although the City is not in a position to regulate the internal management affairs of Hawkeye, it is our hope that the recommendations the BTC gave Hawkeye will be taken seriously and help to make their operation a smoother and more efficient process. Hawkeye has informed us that they will soon be changing their billing and payment system to a bank in Des Moines which is a computerized operation. This will mean less work by hand for Hawkeye and faster processing of bills and payments. The point at which billing procedures and subsequent complaints indicate a level of efficiency that would substantially affect the operational costs of the local company is when the City's regulatory framework does become pertinent. At such point the City could consider this in light of a future rate increase request. 141CROF1 L14E0 BY j 1" "JORM-MICRdLAB' 1 CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES 1/-5-/ J \ I /i 1 Dean P. Loven April 11, 1983 Page 2 In addition, the idea you suggested for a dropbox for payment of cable bills is a good one that has been brought to Hawkeye CableVision's attention. You state in your letter that your home was without cable service from Friday to Monday in August, and that you were unaware that cable repair service is not available from Hawkeye CableVision on weekends. The local ordinance stipulates the grantee shall provide "same day service" seven days a week, and that for every 24 hours of total loss of service the subscriber is to receive credit for one - thirtieth of the total monthly billing charge for basic service. While Hawkeye's proposal to Iowa City states an exception to seven days a week service because of the excessive costs to keep a technician on call, I have discussed this matter with the manager of iHawkeye CableVision and he agrees you are due three days credit for your loss of service in August. You will be credited for three days 1 service in your May or June statement from Hawkeye CableVision. I The survey you mentioned, by Hawkeye CableVision, was conducted upon the company's own initiative with no commitment to share the results of that survey. Therefore the company, if it chooses, can and has decided not to distribute the results. I We are always glad to receive feedback from citizens regarding their feelings about channel offerings on cable. While several persons have commented on the less than attractive nature of some of the channels on cable, just as you have, it remains that Hawkeye CableVision has provided those channels specified in its proposal, the only exception being that of a foreign language channel. On this matter, Hawkeye has agreed to try to fulfill this obligation by bringing in by mail Telefrance tapes. This service is only available by a mailing or "bicycling" network at this point. But it does appear Hawkeye will be getting these tapes for playback over the cable system, and probably over channel 5. No formal mechanism was supplied in the ordinance to change the original line-up of channels offered by Hawkeye. Any subsequent changes, unless a formal mechanism can be developed and agreed upon, will be largely the result of consumer demand and Hawkeye's interests. For example, the addition of Music (MTV) to Iowa City's cable programming on channel one is, in part, credited to the petition submitted to the Broadband Telecommunications Commission and Hawkeye CableVision with over 1100 names requesting the service. It is our intent, as you suggested, to keep basic rates as low as possible. Hawkeye CableVision can only impose rate increases for basic service by fulfilling the franchise agreement and justifying such an increase to the City. Then, and only then, can such an 4451 `i MICROFILMED BY t ^ �. 1. 1--JORM..."MICR6LA6'_ J CEDAR RAPIDS DES NOIYES Dean P. Loven April 11, 1983 Page 3 increase be awarded by City Council.

Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear City Council Members: As I have mentioned in previous correspondence, Hillcrest Family Services is having a most difficult time finding a house in the correct zoning for a group home for adult men and women. Hillcrest Family Services' adult facilities are licensed by the Iowa Department of Health. The requirements of the Iowa Department of Health and the zoning requirements in Iowa City are not compatible. Currently Hillcrest would need to look at purchasing a facility under Rooming House Requirements including large amounts of parking. Since 1976, we have had only 1 resident who has had a car. Also, the Iowa Department of Health requires more floor space per resident than is allowed under current rooming house regulations. Thus, Hillcrest is very favorable to the definition of group home facility in the proposed new ordinance. The problem that remains is that under the proposed ordinance, group care facilities can only be in RM44 areas. According to the zoning map, this is a very limited area. Hillcrest is requesting that group care facilities be allowed in RM12 and RM20 as well. Jane Hartman, Iowa City Residence Program Coordinator, and I will plan to discuss.this matter with you on March 15, 1983, at the Council meeting. Sincerely, HILLCREST FFA�AMMILY SERVICES Donald R.

Box 1160 2005 Asbury Road Dubuque, Iowa 52001 Dear Don: I have been asked to write to you to present some of the options available regarding your need to find an appropriate house and lot for your group care residence. Hopefully, this letter will crystalize some of the things we talked about on the phone March 17 and help you to dgcide how to proceed given the time constraints you are under. A variance request to the Board of Adjustment generally takes 30 days from the time the request is filed to the time the decision is made by the Board. However, it appears that a request to the Board of Adjustment for a change in the density allowance on a piece of Property, although expeditious, may be risky in terms of the final outcome. As I stated on the phone, our City Attorney has indicated that there is no case law in Iowa on the granting of use variances and, therefore, even if the Board were to decide in your favor, a challenge to the Boards decision might come down against your interests. It would be appropriate for you to seek legal counsel on this matter before deciding for or against this course. Your second option is to request the rezoning of a piece of property, if you cannot find a lot and house in a zone which allows you to do what you want and need to do. At this time a rezoning can be done through an individual request which entails the payment of a feereviw , Commission,d andualpublic ilcehearingb and threehreadings lof then ordinance to rezone before the City Council. This process may take up to four months; if fast -tracked, at the discretion of the Council, it can take about 2h months. With the submission of materials by March 23, a rezoning could be through by either the end of May or the middle of July. A rezoning can also be done as part of the rezoning of the entire City. A new Zoning Ordinance and map are scheduled to be in effect by August 4, 1983. 1 141CROFILMED BY 1. 'DORM --'MIC R4L:A E! - CEDAR RAPIDS • DES 14018ES I 45-A J Mr. Osborne March 21, 1983 Page 2 Neither of these methods for rezoning can guarantee you approval. It is particularly unlikely that your request would be approved if the property in question were surrounded by a zone of a lesser density than that of the zone you were requesting. Your third option is to request a change in the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. If a change is requested in the RM -12 and the RM - 20 zones of the new ordinance, as suggested in your letter of March 7 to Neal Berlin, the change would not become effective until August 4, 1983. A change in the current ordinance would require roughly the same procedure as a rezoning and would follow the timeframe I outlined above. A change in the current ordinance would involve defining a group care facility, separating it out as distinct from a' rooming house in terms of density allowances, and making group care facilities permitted uses in particular zones. All of these changes would be part of a single action. Such an amendment to the current ordinance would be a redundant action on the part of the Council, in relation to their adoption of a new zoning ordinance. That is, it would be more efficient for them to deal with group care facilities in the new ordinance as they will deal with many other issues in that ordinance. However, that does not help you with your particular problem and the time limitations you have. It would, finally, be up to the Council to decide if the urgency of your problem required immediate action (assuming they agreed with the basic changes proposed), or if the public interest would be best served by addressing the issue of group care facilities through the new zoning ordinance adoption process. Jane Hartman informed me today that the Church Street property was still an option and that Hillcrest would be seeking a rezoning of the property. Given the sensitivity of a rezoning request on the North side and the dubious outcome of such a request, you may still wish to pursue a change in the current ordinance immediately to attempt to establish some flexibility for yourself in terms of where Hillcrest can look for a potential site. Please let me know if I can provide you with any more information. Sincerely, Karin Franklin Planner oe cc: Neal Berlin Michael Kucharzak Jim Hencin Jane Hartman 7 P 0'.

PROBLEM STATEMENT The City of Iowa City, like most of the rest of the State, is facing a bleak energy picture. In 1981, the city paid an electricity and natural gas bill of over $36 million. The city's total energy cost for that year was in excess of $80 million. And the future holds no promise for either stabilized or decreasing costs. The cost of natural gas alone in Iowa increased 227 in 1982, nearly six times the year's 3.9% infla- tion rate. By the end of this decade, Iowa City should expect to he paying 2 1/2 times what it now spends on natural gas, even without taking inflation into consideration. These increased energy costs affect the City's fiscal management, the provision of essential community services, and the quality of people's lives in Iowa City. The revenue impact on city government, itself, has been substantial in the past several years. With electricity, al- though city government's usage increased only from 9.6 million kwh to 11.6 million kwh from FY -78 to FY -82, the bill for that usage nearly doubled, from $319,000 to $588,000. A similar pattern developed with natural gas usage. While the increase in gas usage was from 296,000 therms in FY -78 to 313,000 therms in FY -82, the bill more than doubled, from $56,000 to over $112,000. The impacts on community services of this -type of budget squeeze are frightening. In testimony before the Iowa State Commerce Commission during Iowa Public Service Company's most recent natural gas and electric rate cases, an ISEA represen- tative outlined in considerable detail the impacts of those I-1 MICROFILHED BY I""-- -JORM"-N4IC RbLAB- CEDAR RAPIDS DES 14 014ES g4S3 hikes on the Sioux City community school district. Mr. Gene Ebner, who testified for the Sioux City Education Association, indicated that the 1974 - 75 energy costs for the school district, with 44 buildings, was $522,523. The cost for the school district in 1980 - 81, with 39 buildings, was $970,549. Thus, with five fewer buildings and a mild 1980 - 81 winter, the school district's energy costs had increased 86%. The projected cost for the 1981 - 82 winter was $1,324,721.11 Mr. Ebner testified that as a result of those cost increases, the Sioux City school district was forced to cut course and' program offerings, reduce staff, increase school lunch costs, and cut transportation costs. Elementary art', music and physical education and library services, as well as high school advanced placement courses, were either cut back or eliminated altogether. The City's fiscal problems are exacerbated as the soar- ing energy costs in the private sector translate into lost municipal revenues. Of the energy used in this state, 98% is imported due to the paucity of indiginous energy sources. In other words, since natural gas, oil and coal are produced out-of-state, the money which Iowa City residents spend on electricity and heating goes to such places as Louisiana, Wyoming and Saudi Arabia to pay for those products. A recent report to this City Council indicated that, in fact, only 15% 1/ The testimonygiven was g prior to the winter of 1981 - 82. Updated figures on whether the projection was accurate are not available. Remember, however, the particular severity of that winter. I-2 i 111CROFILMED BY } JO RIVI--`MICRbLAB_- CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES } 7_53 C 0 J� Of the money spent on imported energy stays in the state in the form of wages, taxes, etc., while 852 of those dollars leave the community for the energy -producing regions. Thus, as energy prices increase, more money leaves Iowa City and is thus unavailable for expenditures in this community, in Iowa City's "blain Street businesses." As local economic activity goes down, and as businesses relocate , close or re- duce their services, the local tax base which provides the city government with needed revenues is lost. As a result, even while the costs of city government dramatically increase, the economic base which serves as the foundation for providing necessary revenues erodes away. The personal costs, both in economic and in social terms, are considerable as well. The Iowa State Energy policy Council's most recent figures indicate that the average family of four paid $620 for heating in 1982, but will need to pay $900 in 1984 and over $1100 in 1985, even assuming no accelerated de- control of natural gas prices. To compound this financial problem, poor persons are disproportionately affected by in- creasing energy prices. In 1975, the Federal Energy Administra- tion undertook a study of the impact of increasing energy prices on low income families. Analyzing a nationally representative study of 50,000 households, the agency found that while low Income households spent less on energy and experienced smaller absolute increases in expenditures due to the 1973 - 1974 energy price increases, those expenditures and increases repre- sented a larger proportion of disposalble income for low income I-3 141CROFILMED BY DORM -- MIC R(�CA B�� CEDAR RAPIDS • DES'MOVIES I � IfS3 IF than for high income households by a factor of ten. Studies of the impact of rising energy prices on low income persons in Los Angelas, Oklahoma City and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, found that such price increases resulted in a reduction of money spent on food and rent. The Winston-Salem study con- cluded that substantial electricity price increases would re- sult in decreases in levels of food spending and nutrition. This information indicates, when viewed in its entirety, that energy prices increases pose real and substantial problems to communities such as Iowa City. The soaring cost of energy poses a financial problem to community governments and adversely affects the ability to provide essential city ser- vices, including education. The increases pose an economic problem to the business sector of the city as more and more, dollars which otherwise would have been spent to support local businesses are siphoned away to the energy producing regions. And the energy price rises pose financial and social problems to the people of the community, as the rate of in- crease outstrips the rate of inflation and as the poor and elderly on fixed -incomes find it more and more difficult not only to pay their utility bills on time, but to pay them at all. It is, therefore, appropriate for city government to do what it can to protect the interests of the community and its residents by seeking to minimize the extent and the impact of these energy price increases.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT RESPONSES In response to the type of information outlined above, the City of Iowa City has adopted a number of energy conser- vation measures for the municipal government in recent years. Ranging from placing "conserve energy and taxes" plastic stickers on lightswitches in the Civic Center to replacing standard sized automobiles with sub -compacts, City govern- ment has taken active steps to control municipal costs by reducing energy use. In 1977, the City created the Resource Conservation Commission, the staff for which worked on solar pilot programs, heat loss identification in City buildings and public awareness projects. In 1979, a plan was developed for the transit system which was designed to make more efficient use of transit fuel. In 1980, energy audits were undertaken for a number of City buildings. In a 1981 report to the City Council, Energy Program Coordinator Roger Tinklenberg said: * * *(B)y the end of FY82, each department and division (should) have its performance judged partially by the amount and cost of the energy it uses to carry out its task. Just as it is relevant to know how efficient a division is in terms of the number of peo- ple required to do a job, so it is relevant to know how efficient that division is in terms of the amount of energy required to do a job. The City of Iowa City has acted with great foresight in pur- suing cost reduction measures regarding municipal energy use as aggressively as it has. Other communities, as well, have been actively involved with trying to mitigate the adverse impacts of increasing r— 141 LROFI Lt4ED BY-^ I1_ _J0RM"-MICR0LA13— CEDAR RAPIDS DES :401RES ' I 463 C T t d➢ i energy costs on their residents. In'1982, Mid -Iowa Community Action (MICA) hired CABG to do an evaluation and analysis of the potential for economic redevelopment through the use of energy management strategies in five central Iowa counties./ Each county was individually researched. The studies found that "the dependence on energy of five central Iowa counties could cost them $214 million annually by 1990." In general, the studies concluded: Life in Iowa will always require money for energy. But will there be money for any- thing else? Constantly bearing the burden of high energy costs will not take care of the problem* * *. The MICA studies examined a number of aspects of the "energy problem" in central Iowa. They inventoried energy use and calculated the direct financial costs of that use in dollars. They evaluated the further economic costs of that use both in dollars lost to the community and in jobs lost to those city residents. They generally explored the potential for energy management investments which could be made at the local level of government. They finally made recommendations as to strategies and approaches which local governments could use to combat increasing costs and their ensuing adverse social and economic impacts. It is both necessary and appropriate for municipal govern- ments to be active in community energy management. The Z/ These included Story, Hardin, Marshall, Tama and Powesheik counties. Major towns included Ames, Marshalltown, Grinnell, .Iowa Falls, and Tama/Toledo. II -2 r MICROFILMED BY �'- JORM_"MICROLAB '- CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES y�S3 1 U potential is great to mitigate the financial impacts on city r government budgets, the economic impacts on the local business community, and the social impacts on local residents. Iowa City has taken some initial steps toward developing local 1 � energy management strategies. Several central Iowa communi- ties have taken other steps. It is now time to synthesize r those activities into a concrete action plan for this city which proposes specific actions, outlines the specific costs of those actions, determines the specific dollar savings, and calculates the specific economic impacts. jj 3 I I� I 1 J� I jv I� jjW, f� 1r w A ri II -3 w Z1573 f jjf 1 , i 141CROFILMED BY .` JORM-"MICR61:A13-- L I CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOMES J 1 III. IOWA CITY RESEARCH PROPOSAL A. Objectives of the Study The objectives of this proposed Iowa City energy study can be broken down into short-term and long-term goals. The short-term objectives are three -fold: 1. To understand the patterns of energy consumption within the community so as to increase the city's ability to engage in meaningful energy management planning; �. To determine the financial and economic costs to the community of its energy use. This is an effort to ascertain the specific dollar loss --the cost to city government and the cost to city resi- dents-- so as to increase the city's ability to evaluate which alternative resource programs are cost-effective; and 3. To develop a mechanism, including both proposed investments and proposed financing vehicles, through which the community's dollar loss can be stemmed and to recommend a specific action plan to implement those proposals. The long-term objectives of the study are to address and to alleviate to the extent possible the problems outlined in Section I above. The financial dollar loss to the community must be stopped so that acceptable levels of community and educational services can be maintained. The economic depressant impacts on local businesses must be eliminated so that local residents can prosper and so that current employment opportuni- ties can be sustained. The City's tax base must be retained. The quality of life, both economic and aesthetic, must be kept intact. All of these long-term objectives are directly related to the proposed Iowa City community energy study. 1' f 141CROFIL14ED BY JORM-"'MICR#L:A B'- JJJ CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES i 415-3 r._ /J �tl B. Contents of the Work Product The final work product will consist of seven sections. Those sections will address the following aspects of the community's energy use: 1. ENERGY USE AND COST DATA: The study will deter- mine this information by type of fuel and by end-use application for a 1982 base year period; 2. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS: The study will examine the cost of various energy supplies consumed in the base year; the percentage of energy expenditures retained in the local economy; the employment impacts of such expenditures; and other data as appropriate; 3. COST AND IMPACT PROJECTIONS: The study will, by examining projections for the next ten (10) years, calculate consumption, cost and the jobs/economic impacts resulting from such projections; 4. CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE RESOUCE POTENTIAL: The study will identify, by feasibility and cost- effectiveness, fuels and sectors most susceptible to conservation efforts and renewable resource applications; project the financial savings which would result from investing in such measures; pro- ject capital costs and payback periods for such investments; and project the economic impacts of such investments; 5. PLAN OF ACTION: The study will develop and 141CROFILMED BY --1 I J0RAi1"-N11C RlJl:AB- CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES J 711 M w r 10 ., 0 T1 recommend a specific plan of action, including pro- posals for specific dollar investments in specific conservation and renewable resource measures at specific locations and/or homes/businesses/buildings within the City of Iowa City. The study will indicate the energy and financial savings to be reasonably expected from such investments, and the economic impacts of such investments; 6. FINANCING OPTIONS: The study will identify, for the above -outlined energy management program, appropriate financing options and make recommendations as to which options seem best suited for Iowa City; and 7. APPLICATIONS OF THE STUDY: The study will identify, within the final work -product itself, potential appli- cations for its contents and the projected productive uses to which it can be put. C.

Applications of the Study An Iowa City community energy study would have several applications which the City should be anxious to pursue. Exam- ples of these applications include: I. The most immediate application is to the upcoming franchise negotiations with Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric Company. The City can insist that Iowa -Illinois take a broader view of its role than it historically has taken. Rather than simply providing electricity and natural gas, the Company can be required, as a r J MICROFILMED BY —� -'`"- JORM- -MICR '6- 111 ( CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES � J 44.53 J bw matter of contract, to provide full energy services. Having completed this study, the City will be pre- pared to defend its requests by being able to indi- cate precisely what investments are cost-effective; where those investments should be made; and the impact, or lack thereof, of such investments on total Company revenue requirements. 2. A second application which has been raised by a recent local controversy is in the area of implementing trans- mission line siting permit requirements. The current city franchise requires that all new transmission lines be "necessary." Historically, Company has argued simply that with increasing electricity demands, its proposed lines had to be built to guarantee the pro- vision of reliable electric service. This report will indicate to what extent alternative investments can either level off or reduce demands so that construc- tion of additional infrastructures, such as eleven - story transmission lines through residential neighbor- hoods, can be avoided. 3. The report can also be used in the City budgeting process. On an annual basis, rather than accepting the fact of increasing energy bills, the City can take affirmative steps to shape its budget rather than simply reacting to what appears to be a "given." With the community energy study, city government can determine what measures can be implemented, at what Jff i y MICROEIUIED BY f _-J0RM--MICR#CA-9. CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES I ,�1S3 N ri 4 cost, to obtain what impacts, and with what payback period. In planning or constructing new city build- ings, also, the city can use the energy study to deter- mine what are cost-effective energy measures to be included in such buildings. A final example of the use of this energy study is to place the city government in a position of offering leadership to the community's business and financial community on how to promote economic redevelopment through community energy management. The local economy need not stagnate due to the dollar drain from the community resulting from increasing energy costs. The Iowa City business and financial community can take affirmative steps, itself, to encourage or to make investments in energy management strategies. In other words, the recommendations made in the Iowa City study need not be implemented solely by the public sector. They can be implemented by the private sector as well. i MICROFIL14ED BY ^ _JORM-MICR4 AB'" - --�,- CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES x,53 0 I I � ' i I . I r I n � y IV. COMMUNITY ACTION RESEARCH GROUP The Community Action Research Group, Inc. (CABG) was I incorporated in April, 1977, as a response to the lack of r. , r. legal and technical assistance available to community organi- zations, individuals, local governments and some educational institutions concerning environmental, agricultural, trans- portation and energy issues. ` Today, CARG employs a technical staff of five persons including two researchers, an attorney, an organizer and an administrator. In addition, CARG maintains an "on-call" staff of two economists, an educator and two additional at- torneys. ; CARG concentrates its current work in the areas of energy, { j public utility regulation and local economic development. The i group is a well-respected presence before the Iowa State Com- merce Commission, having both intervened in Commisssion pro- ceedings and represented other community groups which have � I intervened. In addition to the numerous natural gas and electric rate proceedings in Iowa, CABG staffinembers have been called to testify before state and federal regulatory T agencies nationwide. Included are the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory TT Commission in Miami, Florida; the U.S. Department of Energy in Atlanta, Georgia, Kansas City, Missouri, and Chicago, Illi- I: nois; the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Des n Moines; and the U.S. Interstate Commerce Commission in Des h Moines. rt Technical projects which have been funded in the energy IV -1 i MICROFILMED BY ! ` -DORM""MIC Rl�L.4 B'- (j I CEDAR RAPIDS • DCS MDI 115 i i ss A it area include: 1.
